Norway's Supreme Court invalidates approval of three oil field developments

epa13375886 A view of Norway's Supreme Court during the delivery of its verdict in the climate lawsuit in Oslo, Norway, 13 November 2026. The Supreme Court rules that the state's approval of plans for the development and operation of three oil fields is invalid due to procedural errors. The court dismisses the state's appeal against the Court of Appeal's judgment and orders the state to cover legal costs. Greenpeace and Natur og Ungdom are therefore awarded over 5 million kroner (approximately 473,000 euros). The state also lost the case against the environmental organizations Greenpeace and Natur og Ungdom, as well as Redd Barna, in both the district court and the Court of Appeal.They claimed that the state had granted permits for three oil projects in the North Sea without the projects having been investigated as required by law.
